I hope every fan base in the country adopts the horns down. It is not just rent-free living in their heads, it is free marketing. MLB fans don't all hate the Brewers; they hate the Yankees. I don't want to be SW Missouri St. We are Texas.

Disagree. We get a top four seed if and only if we win our conference. Nothing our conference-mates do is going to keep us from getting into the playoffs when we are good enough to have a legit shot at winning it all. If we have some 9-3 season in which we are hoping for a chance to get our teeth kicked in during a playoff game, there is a non-zero chance Bama-Wiscy affects our odds. There will always be enough talent and, more importantly, reputation and propaganda in the SEC to help us.

About as much as it does football, I guess. I suppose cops versus civil liberties isn't inherently political, that much is true.

@immamac Can this thread be moved to CR, please?

Agreed. My 13-YO son pointed out that all you have to do is reliably get 3 or so yards. I remember watching them throw on 3rd/4 relatively early in the game and end up punting when they likely could have run for 4 in two carries if they'd had the stones to use all four downs.

Lesson: if your arms are going to be all the way out like that, discontinue contact to make it harder to get called for holding.

Haha yes I like our negative ST rating, and I like both ND and A&M in the top 20. That thing needs more data to have more meaning.

Aggy may not like it, but we are finally home with our original conference-mates like Auburn, Bama, and Vandy. Our first conference (1896-1903) was the SIAA. They later played in that conference as well, before following us elsewhere.

If he has NFL aspirations, there may not be much that can be done, ultimately [crosses fingers and hopes this is a "lesson" he has learned from Saban]. If he likes the college game, I am cautiously optimistic that he ends up staying quite a while in Austin.

You are correct. I could not get my keyboard to let me change it to "entertaining" after looking at what I typed first. I'll stand behind the scorpions and frogs reference, though.

Exciting while it lasted. Turns out you actually need a roster. Scorpions and frogs, etc.

But sir, the objective FPI has ND at #10!

I don't remember your previous 5400 posts as this obviously daft.

After reading Daddy98's (I think) insurance sales analogy, I am at least 50% convinced he is a Surly sock running a long con.

Sorry for joining the sidetrack-- I'll post once and then leave it. Our society is perfectly designed to fatten up humans. Those who have said you can lose weight on your own are right for the overwhelming majority of people. Focus on a few simple (yet requiring commitment) rules. If you burn more than you take in, you will lose weight. Most adults reach a point past which exercise in sufficient quantity to affect their weight is unlikely, so the focus should be largely on intake. 1. Only eat at meal time, and stop when you are full. Most people snack or graze at some point. 2. Only eat food over which you have control-- your own from home. The restaurants and food trucks, the sales people with donuts, etc all want to feed your pleasure centers rather than help you moderate your intake. 3. All carbohydrates (except dietary fiber) are sugar. Don't eat sugar if you are watching your weight. You will likely get plenty of sugar even while trying to eliminate it (some people have a medical condition like diabetes or hypoglycemia and need medical supervision on this one). Throw away the sugar in your house from the fridge and the pantry and don't replace it with more. Meat, eggs, greens, and "keto" formulations (the tortillas tend to be edible) are not sugar. Chances are that whatever else you are tempted to buy/eat is sugar or is high in sugar. Fat intake does not lead to the metabolic consequences that make weight loss hard the way that sugar does. Some bacon is OK, but throw away your sugar. 4. As stated above, do not drink calories. Milk is sugar water. Skim milk is sugar water with the delicious fat removed and the sugar retained. Fruit and fruit juice are sugar. Water, unsweetened tea, and unsweetened coffee are not sugar. Artificial sweeteners and diet sodas may increase cravings and impair your satiety signaling, so consume even them with caution. 5. Tell the people around you that you are trying to get in shape. They will be much less likely to sabotage you by inviting you to unhealthy eating and drinking opportunities, and they might even actively support you. 6. Don't go crazy, but give yourself a meal once a week without all the rules. You won't lose all your progress from one meal, and we tend to do better with occasional breaks.

The Michigan helmet is not original-- it was copied from Princeton. Bevo, our helmets, the Hook'em Horns, etc are ours.

Nice model in a lot of ways. Humorous that it has ND at 10 and OU at 11.

Monday afternoon aggy fact: As of right now, SMU has won two more games this year than A&M, LSU, and FSU have combined.

Kyle Field All-time Record as of ND game 2024: 374-170-26, giving them credit for all the games they played against FCS patsies and real teams alike. That makes .679. [334-156-12 through 2015 (per A&M media guide via Wikipedia), 40-14 since 2015 (per sports-reference.com)] Our record at DKR is 400-122-10 (per UT Athletics via Wikipedia), or .761. Tell me again about the tougher place to play.
